"An Indian swami guy whose presence was never explained (I later learned that he is the MIT
chaplain) gave an invocation that nobody understood. My friend Rajeev says that it ended with the standard "peace", "peace", "peace", which he found ironic considering that India had just exploded five atomic bombs."

I fail to understand the irony. What has the Swami ,who is the MIT chaplain, got to do with India exploding five atomic bombs. Or am i to assume that by virtue of him being an Indian, somehow makes him responsible, and thus the irony ????.
